It doesn't sound like it is....please write exact HBOOT screen details in this post and what custom version you have CWM or 4EXT?
When you perform Full wipe from recovery do you get any errors?
When you format CACHE/DATA/SYSTEM from recovery what errors do you get?
If you get no errors then I'd suggest that you:
Download Hyperion ROM (as I've used this and therefore I know that it works OK) put it on SD card.
Enter RECOVERY and wipe data, boot, cache and system, then flash the ROM and reboot device. The first boot always takes 3-5mins so be patient.

Are u trying to flash sense 3 Roms or sense 3.5? This does sound very odd how no Rome are working for u

If you mean your 6.xx.xxxx hboot that shoudn't cause issues. Don't upgrade to the 2.xx.xxxx hboot you don't need to.
Getting the error once isn't a problem so long as you can format cache without error afterwards.

Just to confirm you did wipe of data, system and cache before flash?
No you don't need swap or sd ext
Do you have any previous nandroid backups?

You must wait about 5 minutes on first boot at this screen, so wait at least ten

It's not advised to pull battery, read my signature....

Don't quite know why this might be happening, so don't know what to recommend next, hopefully someone will have have a suggestion, if I think of anything I will post again.

I assume that you have adb (if not check the guide in my signature - it is simple). Connect your device to the PC, enter recovery, open cmd (command prompt) on the PC and type:
Code:
adb shell
dmesg | grep mmc0
If the output contains the following strings:
Code:
mmc0: failed to get card ready
mmc0: reinit card
mmc0: Starting deferred resume
mmc0: Deferred resume failed
Than you internal memory (eMMC) is corrupted i.e. your chip is "fried". In this case it has to be replaced. Sorry, no other solution available.
If not - good news for you. Check this guide, one of the fixes should work for you
P.S.: 4EXT Recovery should have an option to skip the MD5 verification when restoring a backup. But I advise you to flash a Stock RUU and start clean to avoid further issues (Solution No.4 in the above mentioned guide)

To do advice you breed adb and HTC drivers installed on PC see links in my sig

Can I install a boot.img within phone?

Hi everyone, I have S-on still, I am wondering if I can pull the boot.img from a kernel of a rom and move somewhere to my sdcard if I wanted to flash a rom that doesnt have this built in to it...the reason I am asking is because alot of downtime at work and sometimes I want to tinker with other roms, but since I have hboot 1.27 most of the roms need the boot.img pushed, and I cant install software to do this on my work computer....If it can be done on the phone by using ES file explorer or something similar, can someone guid me on where to put the boot.img...i believe on the root of sd?....just curious here....thanks much...Larry

if you use 4ext recovery with s-on smart flash enabled it will flash the bootimg after it installs the rom i believe, so no need to manually flash the boot img. is this what you mean?

Yes.. Wait for 10 minutes max.. If it's not booting then.. You need to flash boot.img of the rom seperately from fastboot but that process requires pc access.. Or try this.. If not booted.. Go to recovery again.. Then enable smartflash again and immediately flash the rom.. Without doing any wipe.. This might work

are you 100% sure smart flash is enabled? when you flash some roms like arhd it flashes a new 4ext as well i think.
if you do then im not 100% sure on how to proceed. have you thought about just going full s-off? once you have it you dont need to flash the bootimg afterwards

hmmm. what version of 4ext are you on? stable or beta?
I personally s-0ffed before the wire trick came about so i have not had to do it, but many people seem to get the hang of it easily enough, maybe worth a try. and if you cant get to grips with it we will try find another way to help?

Flash another Rom with wipe
Then flash elegancia again with default wipe option within recovery everything except sd card reboot and wait

can you post the details of the bootloader
also you might need to flash boot.img once atleast ..after that smartflash will properly work

This is normal for Smart Flash, the device will boot to the splash screen then flash the boot.I mg then reboot again but all the way nto the ROM on the second reboot. Also I know you can flash splashscreens and recoveries via Terminal Emulator but I am not sure about the boot.img. From what I am do know about Android I am thinking you probably can not but it is worth a Google search.

Ok, so I downloaded the Elegancia Pegasus, I went into 4ext recovery, did a super wipe, turned on smart flash, installed the rom zip, did not reboot but enabled smart flash again, and then installed the rom again..(reason for this was I was thinking maybe it installed a new 4ext)..I really dont think it did though, but still stuck at the white htc screen...I may have to just do this from a computer...weird thing is that Elegancia sense 4.x 3.1.0 flashes just fine, but i imagine thats because that Boot.img is not getting written over by the pegasus one..any other ideas?...the ext recovery I am using is the stable most current release btw..thanks everyone...Dirtylarry

indeed, but he can do that at home with His pc then he will be able to flash any rom he likes without the need of smartflash. thus solving his problem and allowing him to flash roms at work when he has some spare time allowing he already has the roms with him, or he can still download

[Q] Bricked my HTC One S

Hi all,
Got mine today, tried to install a ROM and it got stuck in bootloop.
I did a number of stupid things not to mention wiping the SD and im in serious trouble.
I can get into bootloader and CWM but thats it.
Ive heard restoring a RUU can cure it but I have a MAC and cant find anything to help.
Can anyone help? Im gutted....and fell like an idiot.
Ive got an S4 on the three network.
Thanks

Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then after the touch buttons stop flashing, just hold the volume button and see if ot enters the bootloader.

Specifically you'll have to flash the ROM zip file from the recovery and then use fastboot flash boot boot.img.
You can find boot.img inside the ROM zip file

The phone is locked to 3 but as a noob I spent 2 days flashing a generic euro ROM.
When i realised i need a ROM to match CID i downloaded 1.53. Tried this a number of times with no joy.
Just tried 1.78 and it seems to be working

Htc One S bricked
Hi im relatively new at rooting and am currently experiencing issues with a bricked device.
i have two htc one s devices
my personal one is running cm10 ville with clockwork touch recovery and is working perfectly
however the second one i was using the same exact files.
this one is bricked
its in a constant bootloop.
i can get back to my recovery just fine and get to the fastboot in the phone fine
i cleared my cache
wiped my data and wiped the dalvik cache all perfectly fine when i try to flash the cm10 official rom back on it cannot mount the sd card
i would try to install a different recovery and try again maybe using viper one s
but i cannot get the phone to power on
it doesnt showup on the computer when it is plugged in while in fastboot
when i try the cmd fastboot flash recovery it says waiting for device
any advice. this is not my own phone so i need it repaired pretty quickly.
any helpful information would be much appreciated.

Bootloop does not mean your bricked...means you need to fastboot flash boot.img

This little post just pulled me out of missery. Love ya man!

all you guys getting sorted
make a nandroid and sdcard bu NOW and put them on pc,
obviously leave a copy of nandroid on phone also
makes it a lot easier if you get in trouble again
and you/we will

Mounts and Storage --> Format everything --> Now Mount USB Drive --> Put Gapps and ROM
Flash it, erase cache & and Dalvik...Blah blah blah. Flash boot.img in fastboot, and there you go.
Everybody, please remember this and there won't be noob q&a anymore...

[Q] Rooting my friends phone.. bricked?

I really need help here guys. I am rooting my friends HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) and I think i might have broken the OS.
I can still get into recovery mode and flash, but my ROMs crash as soon as I boot. The phone even runs into a boot loop sometimes depending on which ROM. Can anybody guide me to bring the phone back to stock? I would GREATLY appreciate it.

I rooted the phone, installed supersu (fine up until now) .. Created a backup via CWM and tried to flash Cyanogen mod. I realized it failed and so i went back to wipe (factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache) and went to restore my backup. The back up passes but is not 100% working due to some missing files in the system. I am also running HBOOT - 1.17.1111

Hi,
I gave you a GB ROM to flash.
That should get your phone running again.
Then, I gave you a link to a guide which will install 4 EXT recovery,update your firmware and radio,and install ARHD ICS ROM.
Please read the link carefully,and follow it to the letter.

I tried that, and it failed on me. It bootloops on the HTC logo now. I need to return this phone to my friend by tomorrow.
I don't know if this is too much to ask, but would anybody mind assisting me through a google hangouts video chat? I could do it tomorrow at about 4PM. I really need to get this fixed.... Like bad.

Wipe the phone. Then Flash the original OS with Odin. Problem solved, then try rooting again

I don't know what I did... but I managed to get Cyanogen Mod working.. I'm scared to touch anything else lol. It's working flawlessly so far.

ViperS 5.0 Bootloop fix please!

hey guys, so I flashed the viperS sense 5.0 Rom using 4ext flash with smart flash enabled. I even flashed the kernel separately and when that didnt work i even used the venom kernel flasher. p.s,when i tried to push kernel modules in the kernel flasher, it gave me an error and it didnt work. My device is on S-ON.
whenever i boot the device, it goes into bootloop.
Help please!

ok then
flash again vipers 5 rom
don't forget to enable smartflash before flashing the rom
if it fails again
then flash the boot.img via fastboot command

I had also faced the boot loop problem while shifting to Vipers 5 from CM 9. Then I realized I had forgotten to enable smart flash.
Following are the steps
1. enable smart flash
2. Perform full wipe
3. Format everything except sd-card
4. install from sd-card
